Ch.2 Go Back to Ukiyoe Town
Yura signed as she drifted her gaze at the scene that passed as the train moved. Despite her distressed mood, the weather seemed so nice today. Here was what happened after Yura and Ryuuji met two gods from other country, Korea. They said they were on mission something and they won't tell more to Keikains until they met Rikuo Nura. So, elders of Keikains decided to let them do whatever they wanted for now. Moreover, Yura and Ryuuji again, assigned to company with them. The decision was made by based on Yura was close to Rikuo.
Of course, Yura shouted and yelled in snap because she didn't want to admit that they are close….yet. Kiniji grinned as she checked Yura's reaction from that. Ryuuji saw Kiniji's grin as well and thought why that foreigner would smile while she was watching his sister's reaction. He decided to set his eye on Kiniji.
Thanks to the previous Yura's flashback, now her mood fell down more. She sighed heavily that even sigh was enough to make hole one the ground.
'Just what mission they are talking about anyway…?' Yura frowned and this time she looked at Mochizuki (even though it isn't their real name) siblings. They were astonished by view from the train's windows. They looked so light-hearted or not serious even.
Also, they were talking in Korean so Yura and Ryuuji didn't understand their conversations.
Yura decided to shut her eyes for hours until they reach to Tokyo. As she closed her eyes, she wondered about herself in her dream. Yura didn't hate Rikuo at first when she came to Ukiyoe town. He was her one of her classmates as well as other Kiyo Investigatoin Squad members who were her classmates too. Then, by a twisted of fate she was saved by yokai and she was onmyoji! Onmyoji was saved by yokai and that was absurd! They were natural enemy and Yura was learned that yokais are black and humans are white. It was so confuse to her. However, the more time pass; this certain yokai saved her many times despite that she didn't like it.
Later on, she found out unintentionally that yokai was Rikuo. Thanks to Ryuuji, Rikuo's cover was blown front of Yura. She was confused at first but there was a fact that she still believed in it. Nura-kun is kind. If it's Nura-kun, then everything makes sense. And I….
"…ra-ch.."
'huh…?' Yura twitched when she heard unfamiliar voice while she was thinking about Rikuo in night form.
"Yura-chan~. We are here already, wakey-wakey!" Yura snapped her eyes open and her vision immediately met a smiled face of Kiniji was making.
'What the…!'
"Rise and shine, Yura hime-chan(A/N: hime means 'princess'; Japanese)! The boys already packed their stuffs and left the train. Boy! Your brother didn't bother to wake you up, huh?" Kiniji enjoyed Yura's stunned expression as she was explaining the situation to her. However, more importantly that something was bothering Yura.
"Excuse me, who gave permission to speak my first name?" Yura gave angry look to Kiniji who was humming while picking up their staff, ready for left the train.
Kiniji flicked her eyes in innocence way that she didn't quite catch Yura's question. "Hmmm..? I can't call you your first name? Why not?" She tilted her head aside in cute way with confused look that Yura flinched to see that. How young woman like her make that cute act!
"Well, you and I are not close so that's why."
"Oww! But, you and your brother share same last name! So, that would confuse you guys when we call you by last name. Same goes for us too! Also, your brother was irritated at my reasoning first but he accepted it in the end." Kiniji grinned in innocence way that a kid won in the first place in the game. Yura sighed as she was stepping out from train with Kiniji. Yura wanted to argue why Kiniji would call her 'hime-chan' few minutes ago. However, she didn't have a chance to ask because they already caught up with Kyouji and Ryuuji.
The boys were in silence until they saw girls were here finally. They didn't have anything to say each other except during the trip in the train, Kiniji said many things to Ryuuji and he heard them like non-stop.
"I brought Yura-chan. Geez, Ryuuji-kun! You should pay more attention to your sister!" Kiniji pouted her mouth and gave some lecture to Ryuuji. Ryuuji's eyebrows twitched in annoyance and turned his back from her. Kyouji shook his head side and sighed for his sister would be this annoyance or rather something else.
"Then, big sis. You should give me more attention to me." Kyouji mumbled under his breath.
"Anyway, let's go and meet this famous yokai!" Kiniji beamed her cheerful smile to everyone. Now, they were almost give up her cheerful carefree words and walked along with her. Of course, Yura was the one leading the way since she knew where Nura Gumi's main house was.
In Nura Gumi's main house. Many yokais were gathering in the big room where the gerenal meetings were holding. After Abe-no-Seimei incident, some yokais were not daring to Nura Gumi and the Tokyo was under control of them. However, recently there was weird reports were coming in. In the certain areas, most of yokais were in rampage that they were attacking humans randomly.
"We sent others to halt the ambush, Rikuo-sama. However, the attacks are increase as well." Kurotabou said his report to Rikuo who was in his night form and sitting where supreme commander sit. Rikuo's father, Nurarihyon was also sitting next to Rikuo. He inhaled smoke from his pipe and grumbled in irritation. This had never happened before.
"Rikuo-sama, there is more. Our yokais we sent for stop the attack early, now they are attacking randomly who came to their side." Kubinashi spoke more of report and other generals' faces became dark as the report was getting worse.
"Of course, we have retreat ours and the yokais who were residents in that area. However, some wondered yokais are still attacking humans." Aotabo also continued the situation. It looked like this was abnormal situation that Rikuo faced right now.
How the yokais were attacking randomly and even his subordinates are attacking when they stayed in that area too long? Somethins was not right there…
Then Kejorou opened the slide door and she was standing near the door. Because of serious atmosphere she was almost forgotten why she opened the door. Rikuo turned his attention to Kejorou and asked.
"Kejorou, what's wrong? Did something happen?" With Rikuo's question, Kejorou was able to come back to reality and stated her reason.
"Rikuo-sama. Yura-san and Ryuuji-san are standing in front of house. Also, there are unfamiliar two people beside them as well. Should I bring them here?"
'Yura…is here?'
Rikuo almost jolted hear that Yura was here. What business made her to come here all of sudden? Other yokais were checking out their leader, and made faces like they knew what was going on their leader's head.
"So, onmyouji girl make the first move, huh?" Aotabo said while trying to hold his laugh.
"I thought commander would make the move first you know." Kurotabou also said in his agreeable tone.
All the yokais were agreeing even Nurarihyon were smirking his mischievous laugh to his grandson. Also, he said that "It's shame that my grandson didn't get my manly charisma and wooing skills."
Rikuo heard all this conversation so he gave serious glare to his subordinates to shut their mouths. And he continued his attention to Yura's arrival.
"I will go greet them and don't let that unfamiliar guest wonder in the house."
While Rikuo was giving his order to Kejorou, Nurarihyon used his fear and sleep out from the command room. He wanted to make sure something and tried out his prank on this unfamiliar guest to greet them.
"Wow! This house is huge too." Kiniji sparked her eyes in admiration look on Nura Gumi's main house. Kyouji was looking the house in awe. They looked like newbie tourists in Japan. Yura massaged her temples to trying to calm her down.
"So, Yura-chan~. What is your relationship between this Rikuo-kun?" Kiniji suddenly came beside Yura's side but not enough to violate her private space. However, it still caught Yura's surprise.
"Wha…What…do..you mean by that?" Yura stammered and tried not to her face would blush. Alas, Kiniji already saw that.
"Heh~ but I can see that you like Rikuo-kun back then when we was still in Kyoto for coming here. I didn't see him yet but since Yura-chan like…or love him I bet he would be great match with you." Kiniji chirped in her happy tone and her opinion made Yura's face more blushed.
At the same time, Kyouji rolled his eyes for his sister's butt in other people in business; suddenly he sensed unfamiliar presence near them. He drew out the sword from out of nowhere and slashed the middle of the air. In the gap of air, a small yokai was in there, shocked to see his fear broke easily.
"Who are you?" Kyouji pointed his sword to this small yokai's under neck. Also, Kiniji pulled the guns from out of nowhere and pointed her guns to that yokai as well.
Yura was surprised to see this yokai and the gods' reactions. "Ehh! Ojii-chan? And hey! You guys can't point your weapons to jii-chan!" Kiniji and Kyouji were startled to Yura's comment but they regained their composure.
"What do you mean by that, Yura-chan?" Kyouji asked still pointed his sword to Nurarihyon. Then, Nurarihyon chuckled. "I see. Even the generation changed the situation would be still be same." Now, Kiniji and Kyouji were more confused in Nurarihyon's chuckle.
"What are you doing here, oyaji! And who are you guys?" Thanks to that shouting, Kyouji withdrew his sword and made disappeared in air. Kiniji did same way and looked at the source of shouting. A yokai who had white-black long hair and wore traditional black kimono was standing in front of other yokais. This yokai narrowed his crimson eyes to unfamiliar figures beside Yura and Ryuuji.
"Nura-kun!" Yura spoke to try to fix this misunderstanding before anything goes wrong. Rikuo flinched to hear Yura's voice and drifted his gaze to Yura.
"Yura…?"
"Oh, so this yokai is Rikuo Nura. The famous third commander of Nura Gumi." Kiniji said as she grinned. "Then this yokai is Nurarihyon, huh?" Kyouji sighed as he was helping Nurarihyon to stand up. Kiniji stepped forward from her spot and approached to Rikuo. "Nice to meet you, Rikuo-kun. I'm Kiniji Mochizuki and the young man behind me is my younger brother, Kyouji Mochizuki. We came from other country to carry out our mission in Japan."
Nurarihyon grinned as he heard Kiniji's business with Nura Gumi. "So, you guys came to us for the help." Kiniji nodded and asked something to Nurarihyon this time. "Sir, you sounded like you knew us. Or rather, you knew our previous generations, aren't you sir?" Now, that question caught everyone's attention to Nurarihyon. He scoffed but his grin didn't leave his face. "Yes, I knew them but let's talk about your mission. What bring you guys here this time?"
Kiniji closed her eyes while still smiling. Then she opened the eyes and looked around yokais. "We came here for the certain sword and that sword is the one causing the problem in your territory." Everyone dropped their jaws in shocked look. It was the sword that caused the problem? And how did she know they had problem?
Meanwhile, Rikuo still was looking at Yura in griefless. His cool composure didn't show any sigh of his frustration however, his mind was in occupied with something else.
'So she called me Nura-kun even after we have been through, huh…'
Rikuo tried not to that thought get in his head more than it did last time. He tried.
A/N: Ughh! The development is the one I like but it's challenge to do it! I hope I do more better at next one.
